The island is very small, and there's been a lot of erosion washing the sand away. The rooms are older and quite loud but the standard is ok really. The food is ok, I can't even begin to compare the spa to Komandoo as they are not in the same league. But the diving was superb.
The dive operation had two boats each morning and each afternoon. You could choose between an 'All level' boat which did easy dives and an 'advanced boat' which did... advanced dives. (Duh!) And advanced diving it really was, I was challenged by currents, depths and a lot of things. It was the most challenging diving thus far in my trip.
Luckily one of the Divemasters from Manthiri had a few days off and was able to join me for a couple of days of diving and we had a blast together being able to dive all by ourselves!! The housereef at Eryiadhoo was particularly nice, really good corals and fish life.
I would not come back to Eryiadhoo for the spa, food, service or accommodation, but maybe for the diving. The operation run by Eurodivers was really superb, and the whole island had a good feel to it. It felt way less 'couply' even though there were mostly couples there too.
